Ingredients

  • 2 lbs red potatoes washed and quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup milk warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the quartered red potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
  • Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, heat the minced garlic and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Let the garlic infuse into the butter for a few minutes, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
  • Pour the garlic-infused butter over the potatoes and add the warmed milk.
  • Use a potato masher or a fork to coarsely mash the potatoes. Leave some chunks for texture.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
  • Give the potatoes a final stir to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes warm and enjoy!
